An elderly man was injured this morning, found by authorities on the side of the road.
Authorities said they’re investigating what happened and are not yet ruling out a hit and run crash.
Just after 10:30 a.m. this morning, a concerned citizen called 911 after finding an unresponsive elderly man on the side of the road in the 100 block of Johnny Dufrene Drive in Mathews.
The man had what appeared to be severe lacerations to his head.
A deputy arrived on the scene and found a concerned citizen administering CPR to the man. The deputy then took over and started CPR until EMTs arrived.
EMT’s established a pulse and rushed the man to a local hospital. He has since been airlifted to University Medical Center in New Orleans where he remains in critical condition.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing. It is not yet clear how the man sustained the injuries, but investigators have not ruled out a possible hit-and-run crash.
